Burshing Children's Hair.

There is right way and wrong
way of doing many things and in hair
brushing the latter way is too often re-
sorted to. There is too much inclina-
tion to hurry over this important duty
both with mothers and nurses. Plenty
of time should be taken and care be
used, or the child soon learns to dread
it and shrink from it. If the operator
would take pains to amuse the little
one either with short story or few
pleasant words the task would be very
materially aided and the pain lesscned.
1t seems little thing to talk of, but
when one thinks how often the tender
head is jerked around during the oper-
alton and the little one required tn
keep perfectly still while the brush or
comb with sharp teeth is dragged
through somewhat tangled masses of
curls, one can readily see that this
work of necessity becomes one of tor
ture.-Detr0it Tribune.

The following wss the programme Of
the forenoon:
l. ] soak Mr.. Bowser's feet.
O. Iprepare him three different kinds
OF gruels.
s. send the baby over to mothers,
because its cooling disturbs him.
4. / stop all the clocks in the house
at his request.
8. drive all the boys out of the
neighborhood to sooth Mr. Bowser's
nerves.
6. l shut the dog in the barn and drive
the cat to the attic.
z. make list of his debtors and
creditors and lock up the insurance pa
pers.
At noon Mr.. Bowser resolved to get
out of bed, and the amount of dinner he
ate was positively astonishing. After
dinner he put on his slippers and dress
ing-gown and asked:
"Mrs. Bowser, do you suppose q
cigar would hurt me?'
"P oohr"
"There you go! You don't seem to
understand that 1 have been danger
ously i'll, and that q relapse would
cause my death! Mrs. Bowser, be-
lieve you secretly wished during the
forenoon that might die!''
"Nonsense!"
"Well, your conduct is veTy suspic-
ious, to say the least. In case of my
death l believe you'd marry againr'
II might
'You would, ehP That's the kind Of
a person you are, is itr'
"But, Mr.. Bowser. you've been sick
so much, you know, and you've turned
the house into hospital so often-r'
"Who's sickP"
"You are. I'd just like to remember
the time when you had a well day. Mr..
Bowser, it's an awful thing to chain a
woman to an invalid husband"
Then Bowser began to cry, and l had
to tuck him up in bed and put hot
ilatiron to his feet, and tie rag around
his head, and make him some sage tea.
He was all right next morning, and
when I asked him if it was safe for me
to invite company for Friday night, he
roared out
"Safe! Why notp'
"You may be i'll, you know!''
"And may not, you know! Mrs.
Bowser, want you to understand that
the Bowser family-the line I am de-
scended from-never give up until the
very last!'
"But they recover wonderfully
quick"
"They do, eh? And that's because
of their strong will-power. Mrs. Bow
ser, I'm satisfied that was snatched
from the grave yesterday, and that by
no help of yours. If l do not return
home for the next three days you have
only yourself to blame!'
But he was back at noon, and he
hasn't had another word to say about
my headaches. Detroit Free Press.

SMUGGLING CIGARS.
How to Get q Box of Good Mexican
Weeds without Paying Duty.

How to Get q Box of Good Mexican
Weeds Without Paying Duty.
When you 60 to Paso del Norte, you
will, of course, desire to indulge that
taste for defrauding the revenue of
your country which is inherent in the
American character, and, if you are
disposed to be moderate in your indul-
gence of this taste, you can manage the
matter without much difficulty, and at
no very great expense, for the articles
you buy in Paso del Norte and smuggle
across the river, will not cost you much
more than if you bought them of mer-
chants on the American side. A set
of Mexican filagree jewelry, for exam
pie, which the American shop-keepers
in Ell Paso sell for IS, can be bought
in Paso del Norte for about So, and
SO the joy of smuggling the things
across will cost you only about So. My
advice, however, is to smuggle very
little, as the stocks of such things in E]
Paso shops are much fuller and more
varied than those on the other side. A.
to the pleasure of telling your friends
that you bought a particular thing in
Mexico, that may be had in any case. Re
member what Chesterfield said to his sor
who wished to go down into coal mine
for the sake of being able to say that h.
done so. "You can say it just as wei
without doing it," was the paternal nd
monition.
But if you must do a little smuggling,
buy cigars. The Mexican weeds are
good and really cheap. Very large
ones of fine flavor can be had for $3.50
hundred and if you "break the box"
by taking out three or four, the dealer
will inform you, there will be no duty
to pay. Then, by concealing the box
about your person and looking guilty
you may have the pleasure of risking
fine and imprisonment. Perhaps bet
ter way is to be honest and self-respect-
ing, buy your box of cigars and carry
them openly, as did mine, holding
yourself ready to pay the duty when it
is demanded. The customs officers, in
that case, will casually glance into the
car, observe that you are simply
tourist taking back some cigars for
your own use and say nothing on the
subject. You will lose the pleasure of
feeling guilty and dishonest, but You
will get your cigars all the sa mo at the
Mexican price, and you can afterward
chat without fear with the customs Of
ficers and find out good deal that is
interesting from them.-Cor. NJ T. COM

QUILTS AND COMFORTS.
How They Can BE Quilted Without the
Aid of Frames.

How They Can he Quilted Without the
Aid of Frames.
Spread one-half of the comfort, or
quilt, smoothly over bed; or on the
floor, if preferred. Arrange the cotton,
or wool, evenly over it, but not quite
close to the edge. Then let two per-
sons Zone on each sidc) place the other
half carefully over the cotton, holding
it up till exactly over the lower half
Make the edges meet evenly, and pin
or paste them together all round, turn
ing IN the edges if a comfort.
Have ready piece of tape, or mus.
lin, with an even edge, and fasten this
straight across from corner to corner.
Stick in pins along the edge, to form a
straight line. Then do the same across
the other corners. This will keep the
cotton in position. Now, have ready a
measure, of the width of the square
needed for the quilting. Place it
just below the line already pinned and
measure first one side and then the other,
placing pin at each point. Pin the
tape across, as before, and outline the
edge with pins, and SO on till that half
is done. Then measure above the line
in the same way. The pin-lines can be
basted at any stage of the marking, if
pins are not at hand After the bast
ing is done the quilt or comfort can be
taken on the knee and quilted at ease.
This plan is very convenient for elderl,,
persons, to whom it 10 tiresome to sit
frames while quilting.
If knotting is preferred to quilting a
strong thread or cord can be put
through where the lines cross, by using
n very coarse needle or a mattress
needle. To save the material of tn,
comfort the cord must be run on each
side through squares of strong-twille
muslin, or other strong stuff, and ther
tied. The cotton or silk used for quilt
ing should be very strong. as it is liabl.
to break in the course of wear if at ali
weak.
Very pleasant comforts can be made
of the old silk, either in plain broad
stripes or with plain center or a
"oANSA VA "oA"i5hU piccCS uuoub TWO
inches in width, set in either with the
ends even with the edge. or with strip
between, or diagonally and the edges
filled in with three-cornered pieces.
This makes quilt of it in reality, and.
if the border is made up of gay tints, it
is quite handsome. 1t is also economic
al, as these straight pieces can be
pieced into shape out of quite small
pieces If of one color, and the piecing
will show very little. Bits of ribbon are
very useful with this design.
A wool-illing for comforts, though
more expensive than cotton, will retain
its elasticity much longer and is lighter
and warmer. 1t is more healthy, as il
allows the dampness of perspiration to
pass through, while cotton retains it

The Crown Prince of Germany,

The late King Alfonso of Spain is
not yet officially buried, although he
has just been dead a year. According
to rigid Spanish etiquette royal person
ages must become "mummified'' before
being finally laid to rest, and so their
coffins are placed in special chamber
in the rock, where water falls constantly
upon the corpse until it is completely
petrified. So the body of the late king
is still undergoing the process.

Mr.. AND MRS. BOWSER.

How the Lord of the Family Was Snatchei
from the Grave by His Will-Power.
The other night when Mr.. Bowser
came home to supper was lying down
with dreadful headache. have head
aches occasionally. l wouldn't have
them if / could help it, but can't.
Once in awhile have chill, but it s
nothing I'm to blame for.
''Sick, ehp" growled Mr.. Bowser as
he entered the bedroom.
''Got a headache"
'That's always the way of it! Iwish
could remember one single well day
which has passed over your head since
we were marriedr'
'I'm always WE'LL"
"Oh, you are! Well. must be blind
not to have discovered the fact! Iwant-
ed you to go to the theater tonight"
IL guess can 60"
"Well, guess you can't! Mrs. Bow
ser, it does seem queer that whenever
l have any special entertainment
mapped out you invariably bust it with
a headache, palpitation of the heart,
torpid liver or some other ailment. 1t
must be the grossest carelessness on
your part. Have you had a doctor to-
dayp'
"Why, no!''
''Well, we'll have one! I'm going to
know what ails you, if have to call
half the doctors in towM l want to
know whether I've married q woman
OF u bundle of drugs
You may be ill some day, Mr.. Bow
ser.''
''Bosh! I've got the strength of mind
to throw off even a case of smallpox.
The Bowser family never made fools of
themselves by being upset at every
change of the weather."
The doctor came up and prescribed
dover's powder, and he thought I
needed tonic of some sort. Bowser
was grouty all the evening, and when
we went to bed he shifted and snuffed
and muttered:
"Oh, excuse me! thought for mo-
ment that Twas in Harper's Hospital!"
Two mornings after that Bowser
woke me up an hour earlier than usual.
His face was very pale. his teeth chat
tered, and saw at once that he had q
chill. He had been looking yellow
around the eyes for three or four days,
and it was evident that his liver was
out of order.
"What is itP" asked.
Il believe I'm going to have a
c-chill!"
"Oh, pshaw! just exercise your will
~ower and throw it off"
~, Bowser, l want you to tele-
phon. adoctor-two-three doctors,
without delay! I'm an awful sick man,
without one chance in twenty of get
ting well!'
"Pooh! Mr.. Bowser, / had all ar
rangements made to 60 over to the to-
boggan slide to-day, and to have pro-
gressive euchre party here tonight 1t
seems funny that you should fall sick
and spoil all my pleasure!'
"All right-go ahead and abuse me
Ill you want to! When am under the
sod you'll think of these things"
The family doctor came up after
breakfast and prescribed quinine and
some other simple remedy, and advised
Bowscr to lie in bed through the day.
